The Obligatory How did you find Motoring Alliance Thread

Hello everyone I found MA on google.

 

Welcome, post a photo of your MINI. We like photos!

 

Researching a P1497 code for our newly acquired '08 mini S, your site popped up in the yahoo search. I visited, liked what I saw and signed-up. BTW, this is our 1st mini (my wife's car). I'm fairly handy, but no mechanic. If I encounter a problem with our autos or around the house, I research and attempt my own fixes if I'm reasonably confident that I may be able to do so. If not, I make the call or the visit to someone that does. Worked on my own cars as a boy ('50 Merc flathead 8 and '62 Chevy 327 Impala SS), then ventured into NASCARS Al-Pro series in the '90s which gets you comfortable quickly working on vehicles in general. Haven't owned many foreign cars in my 68 years. Amazed at how much "stuff" is packed into such a small car with this mini. My wife absolutely loves it, so I'll be sure to keep it in tip-top shape. Your site will assist greatly. Thanks, John

 

Hi John, and welcome..

How I found MA

After many years of wanting one I was able to find a mini for me. An 08 blue (my favorite color) convertible (my favorite type of car). I signed up for the MOTD and that is how I found you guys. Hello.

At least that guy did one thing right!

 

how did I find you

Hi,
Looking for info on Ethanol laced fuel, and it's impact on Mini engines. Found a lot of good stuff.

 

I did a google search for mini forums and this one came up.

 

:cornut: Great welcome to MA and we're glad that you're here. Look up your MINI in the forums and learn all about it.

Thanks. I'll do that!

Hey all,

I found you guys through the TapTalk android app, while looking for some help on Mini Maintenance.

I have an '08 Cooper S for which the Warranty just expired.

SO now i am looking to do what maintenance i can on the girl.

Look forward to perusing through the site to find what i need.
